David Taylor is the co-founder of Etherfuse. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his mission to bring tokenized sovereign debt on-chain for emerging markets.

Etherfuse is building infrastructure to issue interest-bearing stablecoins backed by short-term government treasuries, providing what Taylor calls the missing primitive in crypto: a true risk-free rate that traditional finance relies on as a baseline for all other investments.

Drawing on his background in cryptography at Boeing and Apple, Taylor explains how his experience building payment infrastructure revealed the fundamental limitations of traditional finance systems.

The conversation explores Etherfuse's focus on non-US markets where regulatory clarity is stronger, their approach to mitigating sovereign and smart contract risks through continuous third-party audits, and why they view tokenized debt as the AWS-level infrastructure needed to properly bridge national currencies to blockchain and unlock the next generation of DeFi products.
